Eve has been teasing her comeback to music with the promotional single "She Bad Bad" and its remix featuring Pusha T and Juicy J as well as the album's official lead single, "Make It Out This Town," featuring Gabe Saporta, and "Eve" featuring Jamaican artist Miss Kitty, which premiered in April on BET. Here's a look at her new single 'EVE' feat. Miss Kitty.

Eve said of her comeback, “I’ve definitely evolved musically. Like, my ear is different ... But as far as me lyrically, I think people can definitely recognize me and I think people will hear me and be like, 'D--n, that’s my girl!'. Especially for people who maybe fell in love with me from the Ruff Ryders days. I still feel like, you know, there’s still enough on this album for them."

Finally, early this year reports came out that So So Def legend Jermaine Dupri was having some money issues. Like many celbs, Durpi was having problems with the IRS, but has since paid off a $3 million federal tax lien and the $500,000 lien from the state of Georgia.

Meanwhile, JD is facing a lawsuit from SunTrust Bank claiming he owed a $1.9 million balance from a $5 million dollar loan issued in 2009. In response the So So Def founder has filed an “Answer and Counterclaims” suit alleging that the bank breached its contract with him. According to the counterclaim, in the original loan agreement SunTrust was supposed to take portions of Dupri’s EMI publishing royalties as loan repayment to cover his Federal and State income taxes. Dupri says the bank never made those payments which caused tax liabilities to be placed on him.

This isn't the only lawsuit Jermaine is dealing with. He's being sued by a car dealership too. Get the scoop on this and all of today's juicy details. Press play to hear Tha Wire now:
